This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 831 Volume Inviting People's Hearts

Seeing a group of people rubbing their hands excitedly, Yang Lin, who was never a man, immediately smiled and said, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment.

Although I said that you are free, it is not that anyone from the Tang Dynasty came to pick you up, but my prince is merciful. After all, my prince is still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he does not want to see the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty being humiliated like prisoners in my Ming Dynasty, even though my Tang Dynasty has never humiliated you.

Moreover, the freedom that I mentioned is also limited. This freedom is only limited to my Jiaohe County, and you are not allowed to carry or buy any weapons. Once discovered, you will be killed without mercy!

As for the rest, there is no limit.

Even if you want to work in my Ming Dynasty, that is also possible.

After all, our Ming Dynasty is at the cusp of vigorous development. Even if you work hard, you should be able to earn and save some money.

In the future, if the Tang Dynasty sends people to take you home, the Ming Dynasty will not stop you. As for your own belongings, no one will touch them.

From today on, this camp will no longer be guarded, and the daily rations will be delivered the day before. This is great for Shuihe County, but I don't want to be stained with your blood.

And your highness's kindness should not be let down.

Well, that's it, everyone, please do as you please."

Having said that, Yang Lin ignored them. After all, he was now a high-ranking official, so he didn't need to be nice to these people.

When the Tang Dynasty's soldiers heard this, they were all stunned where they were, and they didn't even react when Yang Lin left.

"Didn't His Majesty send someone to take us back to the Tang Dynasty?" someone murmured to himself.

At first, they all thought that it was the imperial court that forced the Ming Dynasty to compromise.

As it turned out, that was not the case at all.

At this moment, everyone felt a sense of loss.

Otherwise, why do people say that Yang Lin has never behaved like a human being?

This is exactly the effect he wanted. Since His Highness intends to win people's hearts, he will do it more thoroughly and let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty see with their own eyes how disappointing the Tang Dynasty they have been thinking about so much can be.

Yang Lin is a master at the trick of first praising and then criticizing.

Seeing that the army that was responsible for guarding them also withdrew with Yang Lin, everyone hesitated again.

Someone asked blankly: "Could this be a trick of the Ming Dynasty? They want to trick us out of the camp and then..."

He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood.

Some people nodded in agreement. The Ming Dynasty had never been kind to its enemies.

Even large-scale massacres have occurred more than once or twice.

To say there is no doubt is nonsense.

"Probably not." Of course, some people have different opinions, "If Daming really wants to do this, there is no need to go through so much trouble.

At worst, we can just take action. Back then, they killed the two Lius and the Duke of Yun. What are we?"

Although this is frustrating, it is indeed the truth.

Compared to those people, they are nothing.

"Then I'll go out and take a look." At that moment, a brave man stood up and said, "If I'm not back before dark, brothers, you'll have to pray for your own luck."

Having said that, the guy walked out.

He was actually suffocating himself. He had been stuck in there every day for a long time and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Now that there is such an opportunity, whether it is true or not, he wants to give it a try.

Even if it cost him his life, he would accept it.

"I'll go too." After that man left, someone else followed him.

Soon, dozens of people followed.

These days, there is never a shortage of adventurous guys, especially those of them who hang out in military camps.

Seeing that many people had left and some were ready to move, one of the soldiers said, "Be quiet, let them go and take a look first. If there is really no problem, we can talk later."

After all, there are only a few people with an adventurous spirit. After all, everyone has a wife, children and elders waiting for them to return home. If possible, no one wants to throw his or her life away here.

Of course, they would not be afraid if they died on the battlefield defending their country or expanding their territory.

But this is obviously not a battlefield, and that person is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty...

On the other side, outside Jiaohe City.

Hu Laosan and his group looked at the gate of Jiaohe City from afar.

They were naturally the group of Tang Dynasty soldiers who walked out of the military camp, because Hu Laosan was the first to stand up, and now he became the backbone of the group.

"Laosan, what do you say?" Someone saw Hu Laosan staring at the city gate without saying a word, so he asked.

Although they had the courage to leave the camp, they were still a little nervous when facing Taohe City.

After all, since Yang Lin dared to let them out, he must have made all the preparations. Even if all of them came out to attack the city, they would probably only die.

"We have no intention of attacking the city. What's the point of seeing their city defense? If it were you, I'd just go and give it a try. Whether we survive or not is up to fate!
If you have any concerns, I will try it first."

Seeing that Hu Laosan didn't say anything, someone immediately stood up and spoke.

Now that we have come this far, it is impossible to go back. Since it is impossible to go back, the only thing we can do is to bite the bullet and go and take a look.

Hearing this, Hu Lao San also gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to die, you'll have a good New Year. Let's go. We want to see for ourselves whether Jiaohe City is a den of dragons and tigers or not!"

Having said that, Hu Laosan no longer hesitated and walked out immediately.

A group of people followed.

Although they are cautious, they are not afraid to get here.

As they walked towards Jiaohe City, the defenders of Jiaohe City also discovered them, but they were much more relaxed.

Now that the orders have come down, they just have to act according to them.

Of course, we have to be cautious.

"Just pay more attention. We have instructions from above that as long as they follow the rules, we don't have to bother with them." Just then, the general on the city wall came over. He had been paying attention to him here for a long time. He just smiled and said this, and said no more.

After a while, Hu Laosan and others finally walked into Jiaohe City with caution.

Perhaps because they were worried, everyone bent their bodies even when entering the city, fully prepared for a big battle, which made the guys on the city walls very happy.

"What's so funny?" Seeing that everyone was looking at the guys on the top of the city wall as if they were watching a play, the general defending the city said unhappily, "These are qualified soldiers. They are ready to fight to the death in any environment.

Learn from me!"

After saying that, the general shook his head and left.

Although Hu Laosan and his companions were being cautious at this time, they saw that no one was paying attention to them. At most, people on the street would point and talk about them. So they gradually became bolder.

Some people even had the courage to walk into a restaurant, and after a while, walked out with a look of joy on their faces.

Of course, he didn't go there to eat. To be honest, with their current penniless situation, how could they afford to eat in a restaurant?

"I found out that we can really work in Jiaohe City, but ordinary places won't hire us. If we really want to go, we'll probably have to go to construction sites. Some workshops are also hiring, but if they hire, we have to sign a ten-year agreement with the workshop. They said it's not easy to train a skilled worker, but I didn't understand. But I heard them say that if you have skills, you can be an exception."

When the man came out, he showed no sign of concealing the excitement on his face.

Of course, what excited him was not the fact that they could work in Jiaohe City, but this attitude.

You know, just by the way they are dressed, others know their identities without them having to say anything, but even so, no one is surprised, no one cares, and they are even told clearly where they can get work.

What does this mean?
This naturally shows that what Yang Lin said before was credible.

This made their expressions relax.

Then, everyone started to act separately.

Those who go to the construction site go to the construction site, and those who think they have some skills also go to the workshop.

While they were exploring Jiaohe City, a group of Tang soldiers were waiting anxiously in the camp.

From time to time, he would look outside the camp, hoping for good news.

At this time, they are like a woman waiting for her husband to leave.

Anxious and uneasy.

Some people have started making preparations at this moment. As long as there is bad news, they will go straight to the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, even if the news has not come yet, some people have already started doing this.

But such people are only a few in number after all.

Most people still want to wait for Hu Laosan and others to come back before making a decision.

"General, those people couldn't be persuaded and just ran away." In a room inside the camp, someone whispered to the people sitting inside.

At this moment, there are quite a few people sitting in the room.

Of course, those who could sit here were all the leaders in the army, so it was reasonable to call them generals.

The man called the general snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said, "It's hard to persuade the damned ghosts with kind words. Forget about it, just let them go. Do you really think those guys in the Ming Dynasty are so easy to talk to?"

"Those guys are all members of the Duke of Yun's team. They were probably worried about being purged by the Ming Dynasty, so they took the risk and ran away." Someone else said on the side.

People didn't care too much about this.

Just as the person who just spoke said, those people are all Zhang Liang's team and are not the same kind of people. What is there to say?

"Then do you think Hu Laosan and the others can come back?" At this moment, someone asked.

The people present were also concerned about whether Hu Laosan and the others could come back. Although they were not waiting outside like the soldiers, they still sent many people out to keep an eye on them.

This room was used for meetings when the Ming army was stationed there.

Now that the Ming army has withdrawn, it has naturally been occupied by them.

"It should be fine." Someone heard this and said, "Then Yang Lin was at least right in one sentence. Even though His Highness is the king of Ming Dynasty, he is also the crown prince of Tang Dynasty.

Even if His Highness is dissatisfied with us, he will not kill us.

Don't forget, Your Highness still has to return to Chang'an. That can't be said on the battlefield, but if he attacks us after the war, how can the officials of the Tang Dynasty agree to it?

Moreover, if it weren't for His Highness, we would never have surrendered so easily even if we died on the battlefield."

What he said was not empty talk. If their opponent was not the Ming Dynasty, they would not dare to fight to the last soldier, but they would definitely not surrender so easily.

They are willing to do so because they know who their opponent is.

To put it bluntly, at least by submitting to the crown prince, you can keep your life safe and also get a good deal.

Otherwise, how could the Qibi tribe achieve such a great victory so easily?

Of course, if Zhang Liang could have held on a little longer, they would not have done so. But didn’t Zhang Liang fail to hold on?

This led to what happened next.

When the sun set, everyone's faces showed anxiety.

After all, when Hu Laosan left, he made everything very clear, but now he hasn't come back, how can they not be worried.

"They're back, they're back!"

It was at this time that Hu Laosan led a group of people and slowly walked back towards the camp.

The first person who saw Hu Laosan and his group immediately started shouting loudly.

Soon, everyone turned their eyes to Hu Laosan and his group.

At this moment, Hu Laosan and others were like generals returning triumphantly from a victory, with smiles on their faces that could not be stopped.

Seeing that everyone was coming towards him, he immediately smiled and said, "What Yang Lin said is indeed true. We can go to this huge Jiaohe City."

As they talked, they also shared every little thing they encountered along the way.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.

Because of these guys, not only did some of them find jobs on construction sites, but some of them actually entered some workshops in Jiaohe City.

At this moment, even the generals in the room took the initiative to come out to greet them.

Originally, they wanted to summon Hu Laosan and others. After all, how could they let these guys come forward on their own initiative?

But Hu Laosan and others were surrounded by a group of soldiers and could not wait any longer, so they had to take the initiative to walk out.

However, after hearing what Hu Laosan and others said, the generals did not rush to let everyone leave, but began to make arrangements seriously.

The next day, hundreds of people walked out of this former prisoner-of-war camp.

On the second day, thousands of people came out again.

It was not until the fifth day that all the people in the prisoner-of-war camp left.

They were also worried and afraid, fearing that this was a trap set by the Ming Dynasty to lure the enemy deeper.

But after walking step by step, everyone immediately understood what was going on.

Not only have I become bolder, but I've also become more yearning.

On the fifth day, with the news that had come back a few days ago, the soldiers could no longer suppress the urge to go out, and so they came out in full force.

Yang Lin has been sending people to keep a close eye on all of this. If there are really people who are short-sighted, he doesn't mind sending a few less people to serve as a warning to those who come later.

They have indeed killed quite a few people in the past few days. After all, people who don't care about their lives are not uncommon in any era.

But the final result still satisfied them.

At least the vast majority of people still abide by the rules.

As long as they abide by the rules, Yang Lin might as well give them more generous treatment. For this purpose, he even ordered each workshop to recruit these people as appropriate.

For a moment, Jiaohe City became lively.

Look, more than 10,000 new troops have been deployed to add strength to the River Watering Army, right?
